Hey birders!
Cobb River WPA still has shorebird habitat and the southbound birds have
started showing up now. Today there were 7 Least Sandpipers, 1 Baird's
Sandpiper, 2 Short-billed Dowitchers, and 4 Lesser Yellowlegs in with the
Killdeer and Spotted Sandpipers. Black Terns and a single basic Franklin's
Gull made a pass as well. Also of great surprise was an American Black Duck
mixed in with the Mallards. Perch Lake to the east harbored about 100 American
White Pelicans and about 30 Double-crested Cormorants--more than I've seen in
weeks.
Willow Flycatchers are also present in the old fencerow on the west side of
CR16 in the WPA.
Happy birding!
